Did you know that sixty percent of your horse's body weight is
skeletal muscle?
skeletal muscle?
During massage, muscle tightening and adhesions are broken up by
using different strokes that allow oxygen and blood to flow in greater
capacity. This movement of blood and increased oxygen allows the
horse to relax and removes stress from the body.
In the same respect, if a muscle is tight, the various strokes and
techniques used by Central Kentucky Equine Massage Therapy will
loosen trigger points and provide a wider range of motion for the
equine subject.
Disposition can also be greatly affected. Disobedience in a horse can
be related to discomfort. When massage is applied you can immediately
see the effects. The eyes soften, the mouth relaxes, and the horse
begins to lean into the strokes.
Massage is best used as a preventative measure. By breaking up the
tight knots of adhering fibers which can restrict full muscle extension,
massage can prevent a pull of muscle tear from occurring during
exercise.
